| == Request for comment == | |||
| Thanks for your reply. I have a request that you verify my understanding of a Misplaced Pages criterion; I do not want to make erroneous statements about articles, particularly those with which I've been involved. On the ] that has been the subject of some controversy, one of the editors who has actually made a number of beneficial contributions to the format and content of the entry (so not a hostile editor by any means) has added a "NPOV" tag citing the percentage of references, primarily those regarding doctrinal statements if I read his reasoning correctly, coming from the official Church website itself. He suggests that the article either be deleted or merged with another entry. | |||
| My response is that, after reading through the NPOV guideline, I find nothing that speaks of the percentage of references that must be independent, provided that the statements ARE verified by external sources. Further, although the views of the movement are held by a small minority, the restrictions based upon "viewpoint" are not wholly applicable, since the article does not solely present statements of beliefs, but also events of some import related to the Church's existence. The discussion is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Creation_Seventh_Day_Adventist_Church#NPOV_tag | |||
| If this requires an official ], please inform me if that would be better; I would just like to know (from an admin. standpoint) if my understanding of the policy as I have read it is a valid one. Thanks. ] 17:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC) | |||

| You might recall at WP:AN/PA wherein ] reported various disturbances relating to ] and ]. Due to COI issues on Scherf's part, I got involved with the BLP and reverted negative, unsourced assertion; then left a comment on the talkpage . There followed a number of reverts with more talkpage comments for a couple of days. | |||
| When the article was still unsourced, I had suggested to Mr. Scherf that it might be possible to nom the article for AfD and he approved/requested that I do so. At that point, a "reliable" (contrasted to earlier attempts) cite was attached to the objectionable material and I responded by attempting to reach a compromise and use neutral wording. Most recently, Mr. Scherf posted a rather lengthy missive on the talkpage voicing his ongoing frustration, and I again reverted the material. | |||
| At this point, the issue has gone beyond my ability to resolve on my own, and I left a note on the talkpage advising that I would be seeking admin intervention, and suggesting that the article be deleted. At this point I'm officially doing both. Tag, you're "it". ] <font color ="green">]</font > 08:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC) | |||

Post diffs for me if Kinslayer violates more policies and I'll react accordingly. Another possibility is to do a checkuser (or if this doesn't fit a suspected sockpuppet report) on the similar accounts that attack the page. I already extended a Kinslayer block for sockpuppetry - although that was a slam dunk situation and this isn't. The biography vandalism doesn't seem frequent enough to protect the page.

| If a user account or IP is single-minded or disruptive, it is evident from looking at a few contribs; asking for specific diffs is needless when in some cases ''every'' contribution is an example of the behavior in question.

I admit I'd been waiting for the end of the month to archive some of those requests - my time has been short this week and I got roped into another arbitration case. Part of why I move requests down to open is because sometimes those editors do return to provide new evidence. There hadn't been much systematic maintenance on that board when I got mopified: mishmash case headings, IP requests and user account requests jumbled together, and the board was getting flagged for backlog because plenty of cases were going days with no reply at all.

After a month he trusted me enough to come indoors and when he saw I had another cat food dish (I did have another cat) he took a flying leap for it, devoured every stale morsel, and licked the bowl. After two months he tried to get finicky: he turned up his nose at dry cat food and started holding out for a canned meal.

I think Voln's edit history raises legitimate suspicions of sockpuppetry, since s/he got involved in editing disputes on several pages soon after registering--it looks like the user had already been active on these pages. I'm not certain whether this is Editor X, but I'm not as familiar with that person's activities as you are. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I agree something fishy is happening here. ] (]) 03:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| <div style="-moz-column-count:2; -webkit-column-count:2; column-count:2;"> | |||
| :My summary focused on what had been the most recent behavior at that time. Voln's participation parallels . Compare the following: | |||
| * Project news: '']'' | |||
| ::*''...since the type of male clothing she was wearing had "laces and points" by which the pants and tunic could be securely tied together, such clothing was the only means she had of preventing the attempted rape she was being subjected to at the hands of her English guards.'' | |||
| * Articles: '']'' | |||
| ::*''The Condemnation transcript is not the only source concerning Joan of Arc's motives for wearing male clothing. The witnesses at the Rehabilitation trial provided many quotations from her on the subject, as do many chronicles and the like. The motive was not "disguise", but rather the usage of this clothing as a defense against rape since the hosen and doublet could be tied together to make it difficult for her guards to pull the hosen off.'' | |||
| * Book review: '']'' | |||
| * Op-ed: '']'' | |||
| :Not only do these reflect identical points of view on an idiosyncratic topic even among Joan of Arc enthusiasts, both posts employ similar syntax. The first of these quotes comes from ] dated 8 October 2004 (that account's second edit ever at Misplaced Pages) and the second is Voln's post of 3 December 2006. As you can see from that account's history, AWilliamson edited extensively on the topics of Joan of Arc and Cross-dressing. | |||
| * Timeline: '']'' | |||
| </div> | |||
| :The rabbit hole goes even deeper: when AWilliamson first registered he revealed his full name, declared that he was the owner of the website I mentioned at ], and claimed that he was at work on a project to translate all relevant documents about Joan of Arc into English. Voln claims extensive familiarity with the original sources in their original languages. Within three days of registering AWilliamson was already embroiled in an edit war and in a couple of weeks he was in mediation for a dispute about cross-dressing and Joan of Arc. Soon he was removing polite posts that asked for references from his talk page and claiming the editors were sockpuppets (these editors were uninvolved in the mediation case). By the time the account was six weeks old the mediation dispute had turned ugly. Some of his factual assertions in that thread are eye-popping. | |||
| :The interpersonal conflicts never ended and by the middle of 2005 he had abandoned the account to edit as an AOL vandal. I've got several reasons for thinking this. A particularly compelling reason is an early edit where he edited before logging in, then signed on and changed the signature from an IP address to his username. He hadn't begun deliberate exploitation of AOL's randomized IP ranges yet - and how many Reston, Virginia AOL customers have this much knowledge of Joan of Arc, plus interests in cross-dressing, homosexuality, and Catholicism? He later tried to cover his tracks by redirecting ] to ] - a subtle change most editors won't notice if they try to trace the account history. I believe AWilliamson is the original account because early posts use HTML tags instead of Wikimarkup and have newbie errors about adding signatures. It seems he began re-registering as a sockfarm in mid-2006 after I posted the IP ranges to the long term vandalism noticeboard. I don't have any smoking gun for that conclusion, but I've noticed a series of new accounts that act like sockpuppets. | |||

| ::Might as well throw this in: AWilliamson's opinion about Joan of Arc's clothing draws heavily upon a 1929 study by Adrien Harmand that's available only in French. Unless I've missed something in that source or another relevant work, AWilliamson has drawn an original and weakly substantiated conclusion that the garments Joan of Arc is known to have worn at the peak of her career are the same type of apparel that was available to her in prison at the very end of her life. So as far as I know, the two quotes above describe Williamson's original research. <font face="Verdana">]<sup>'']]''</sup></font> 05:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

Other accounts that basically self-identify as AWilliamson should be blocked. | |||
| :On the other hand, I don't think that things are as clear with Voln. Your investigation gives us strong reasons to be suspicious--I find both users' interest in Harmand's theories to be decisive, and looking back through AWilliamson's contributions I think there's a strong similarity in style and tone. But there's space for other editors to have reasonable doubt, still--I don't think you've found a smoking gun that will convince everyone. Furthermore, while Voln's contributions might have violated ], I haven't seen any serious policy violations from this account.

| Hi Durova - I'm looking for an admin who might be able to help with an article (]) where I'm the only regular registered editor.

| Hi, I am truly sorry to make your work as an administrator such a busy one, and this is like the 3rd time I have posted here. On the ] for the article so often in question, Mr. Shubert is trying yet another tactic to get it altered or deleted. I really do not see him ever stopping his attacks on the entry, the organization it's about, and other Misplaced Pages editors (myself included). I registered a formal complaint on the AN, adding to Maniwar's that's been there for some time... but the complaint has been there "for some time." Even mediation has failed here, and it's pretty clear to me that this editor is not interested in improving Misplaced Pages, but in "fighting" with others to establish it as a vehicle for his opinions. He will mis-quote others, mis-word Misplaced Pages policy, and enlist the aid of sympathetic individuals that he "enjoys" speaking with since they appear to be allies such as ], and ] (even if they are suspected ]) just to try and build credibility. I truly think this has been allowed to play out far too long, and I hope something can be done soon, for the opposition to Adventist-related articles appear daily, and this article above seems to be the particular object of his unwelcome affections. Thanks a lot, and sorry again. ] 19:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC) | |||

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Misplaced Pages. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Misplaced Pages Military Historians.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
- updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif
Thank you for uploading File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. mattbr 07:07, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
